Apparently it's like some kind of hyper-realistic pirate simulation. Like Red Orchestra 2 but with pirates.

So CD Projekt Red did a thing to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the first witcher game at PAX West this year and it was pretty great and everyone should watch it.

So was that excessive amount of Destiny advertising money intended to cover Destiny 2 as well or what? Like, was the 500 million intended to cover Destiny as a franchise then or was it originally intended just for the first game and its advertising and upkeep?

I feel like I can't even trust any reviews in progress about Destiny 2 since they're likely written by people who played the first game for 3 years straight and there's no way I'd trust anyone that batshit

Apparently destiny 2 only has five strikes, and if the last game was any indication that's nowhere near enough to satisfy people.

it was less about that in the long run and more about how the economy and mechanics of upgrading / acquiring Light levels / etc were changed in the first few months, it was kind of insane. But yeah 5 strikes is laughable and I'm willing to bet the 40 or so other "activities" are just tedious busywork collecting spindles and rocks

The only reason anybody talks or cares about destiny is advertising money. The bigger release this week is the Splatoon 2 1.3 balance update, will probably be a game changer

There's a PlayStation-exclusive strike which is pretty asinine given the lack of content at launch

If the beta Strike I played was any indication, then yeah. Without really being familiar with Destiny's mechanics, I got through it with pubbies in about 20 minutes, though admittedly I think they gave everyone pretty high tier loot in the beta.

Usually they don't post it until the update is live but for splatoon they're good about giving detailed list of changes, unlike what they do with Smash.

It's my first hurricane season in Florida and while I can't do much but prepare for Irma I'm not looking forward to it hitting later this week. Luckily the area I live in is pretty much center of the state so I don't think we're in any direct path but my fiancée has family in Miami and I am a little worried about them.

If I had the money I would totally buy a generator to keep the fridge running and keep my Switch and 3DS charged in the event of a multiday power outage. I do have to use some weather stripping seal on the sliding glass door, that thing has flooded twice so far in the past 5 months and that was during regular old rain, I don't want to imagine what a week of heavy rain will cause to happen.

"But at other moments, Knack 2 invokes memories of a heroic past that simply does not exist. This is a trivial example, and it may have grown more vivid in my mind, but some way into this adventure Stealth Knack is reintroduced. Stealth Knack can absorb crystals and slip through laser grids, feats which, given the nature of video games in 2017, are really no big deal. But in-game it struck me that Stealth Knack was welcomed back with just a touch too much fanfare. Squint and you could perhaps be forgiven for thinking that he was the stuff of ballads, of warmly-invoked memes and spin-off cereal brands. Stealth Knack, you might even decide, if you really let yourself go, is all that's been missing from our lives for the last few years - years which can now be safely forgotten because Stealth Knack has finally returned to us."

Started and beat Momodora. It was a good if short metrodvania that, as eyerolling as it sounds at this point, had a nice Souls like atmosphere. Don't get me wrong, other than a few minor things, the gameplay wasn't Souls like at all but the entire atmosphere and story did remind me if it.

It's funny because the game starts in a bright wooden area like 90% 2D platformers do, but as soon as you get through there it gets very dark, very fast and like in a souls game everyone you meet is either doomed, curropted, lost all hope or insane.

It is difficult to remember that RE7 is actually a 2017 game and still in consideration for this year's GOTY lists. There have been so many good games and so much bad poo poo that it feels like RE7 came out two years ago

it's in the top 10 bestseller list for console games this year iirc.

there's a lot of early stuff this year (Yakuza 0, RE7, Gravity Rush 2, Nioh, Night in the Woods) that feels like ages ago.

I think so far my top 10 looks like Yakuza 0, Zelda, Persona 5, Prey, Fire Pro World, maybe RE7. I'm expecting Mario Odyssey, Dishonored 2.5, Metroid to make that list later.
